It’s truly well written with wonderful characters, both real people like King Alfred the Great and fictional characters like Uhtred and his friends. And it conveys beautifully what it was like to live in the Middle Ages.* It inspired me to read up on medieval England and the conflict between the English and the Danes. * It will make you very happy that you live in the 21st Century.

I absolutely love this show! The history, the acting, the characters and plot are fantastic. It's right up there with Game of Thrones. Can't wait for Season 5.

Still, after binging Vikings, Vikings Valhalla, I was expecting to be bored of it all, but I love this show and it fits nicely right in between the time periods. Uhtred is a great character and I'm invested in him. Alexander Dreymon is the embodiment of him. Expand

Overall one of the best series I’ve ever watched. It’s super rare for a series to end on a high as well. Easy 10/10

This is the best tv show I have ever watched before. Yep the very best show ever. From season 1 through season 5, episode after episode is action, twists, and enjoyment. Watch it ASAP.

As a reader of the book series I'm usually extremely critical of the shows adaptation as the 'creative' writers tend to ruin them, however, this has been great and the acting has been fantastic throughout. Can recommend this.

Bernard Cornwell... that´s simple... the first season, even with few financial resources, is a great adaptation and from the second onwards it improves the quality of production even more. Excellent cast and very good soundtrack.

Might not be as good as GOT as a complete series but if you want to watch a series that has something on each episode, and gets better each episode it is for you.

I must admit, I had high expectations prior watching these series. I had the illusion this was a historical drama what accurately represented the period. The storytelling is childish, costumes make no sense, dialogues and relationships are not believable. Many scenes felt like they were filmed with gopro camera. Camera angles, I know that was a creative decision, quite often felt very amateur. The project could not have been cheap, since this is historical piece, but my suggestion for future productions - please, spend some money on hiring a historian, so it does not feel like it was written by a twenty year old.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So I loved seasons 1-3 and I loved season 4 up till episode 8... Just stop watching after episode 7. The show goes full on woke... Uhtred finaly has something good happen to him by becoming the leader of Mercia. But the feminist writers couldn't have that... Instead Uhtred proposes that they give the throne to Lady Aethelflaed and they give her the throne... This was like GOT with Sansa all over again.. This woke trash needs to stop destroying my favourite tv shows and movies just to serve the sjw feminist... Its so sad cus I was loving season 4 up till this happened. And guess what I actually like Brida who is a woke character. But I think the show does a great job with her. But it's not enough that they have a woman as one of the best warriors in the show. They also need to take the throne away from the lead and give it to Lady Aethelflaed..... I'm giving this show a 0/10 now. Before this woke trash I would give this show a solid 8.5/10... It's sooo sad... Expand

This show has potential but its brought down by some laughable writing. The acting is good but the writing goes down the toilet in season 4.

Discount Vikings basically. The writing is subpar, the characters and acting are at least reaching average levels of quality and the overall story is just piss poor.

The writing is subpar, the characters and acting are at least reaching average levels of quality and the overall story is just piss poor. There's a lot of decisions the characters make that make absolutely no sense and you just scratch your head. Basically take Vikings, throw out any questions as to what the hell is going on and just go with it and THAT is The Last Kingdom. I really tried enjoying it as I love Vikings (and even the spin off, although it's less good) but this was hard to get through even the first season. Expand
